  1. Yet another government official slinging bullshit on DOJ: Strong Encryption That We Don't Have Access To Is 'Unreasonable' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    ...to see what sticks.

    I think they're seeing the end of John Q Public never questioning a person of any 'authority' and they don't like it.

  2. We have investigated ourselves... on Equifax Investigation Clears Execs Who Dumped Stock Before Hack Announcement (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    ... and found we have done nothing wrong.

  3. Not the huge huge problem he's been told to parrot on FBI Couldn't Access Nearly 7,000 Devices Because of Encryption (foxbusiness.com) · · Score: 1

    Some 240 million people should give up encryption because of 6,900? The entire nations devices become more at risk because of 0.002875% of the population?
    Not surprising to see the director planting these seeds of bullshit so early in his career. That must have been some rigorous lapdog training he went through.

    Wow, Bruce Webster must be an important guy. At least that's what Bruce Webster told me. If you need further proof, just ask Bruce Webster.

    You must be an absolute fucking joy to be around.

  5. This will fade into nothingness once the genius behind this and the marketing whiz-kids realize there's a very limited market that will bite on something like this.

  6. Raw, base line marketing. Albeit, for a better "consumer experience".

  7. Re:We need more guns on Las Vegas Shooting Leaves at Least 50 Dead, More Than 200 Wounded (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    How to do you determine a specific number?
    Why not a photo op with your hair and the flag blowing in the breeze looking majestic as fuck.
    Murica!

    I have a Linux box in my bedroom for streaming. No Camera. No mic.
    If my phone is in there, wi-fi is off. That's what the pc is for.
    Not complicated really.

  9. Re:Drugs on US Employers Struggle To Match Workers With Open Jobs (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    "Refer Madness" was not a documentary.

  18. Re: Let me guess.. on McDonald's Hits All-Time High As Wall Street Cheers Replacement of Cashiers With Kiosks (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Obviously all these low qualification job seekers aren't on par with your intellectual capacity, yet these people still need a job. When automation eliminates 100k's of jobs, these people will all go on government assistance of some sort. Then you and your shareholders will be endlessly patting yourselves on the back over your profits, all the while endlessly bitching about people on welfares.
    And your 'Trickle Down Economics' fantasy brainwashed into you is the only thing The Gipper ever left for this country.

  19. .... all these people that will no longer work at McDonalds can just run over to WV and get one of those millions of new jobs in the coal industry?

  20. You mean like what bathroom people use? Gerrymandering? Taking your shoes off in an airport? Bridges and roads to nowhere? Or the various other bullshit legislation that serves very few people?

  21. And tears were shed by no one. Well, except for shareholders and CEO's.

  22. Delusions of grandeur. on Movie Studios Are Blaming Rotten Tomatoes For Killing Movies No One Wants To See (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    It couldn’t be your shitty movie, driven by your Oscar worthy ego could it?

  23. Onward Christian Soldiers! on FCC Won't Punish Stephen Colbert For Controversial Trump Insult (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the America that fights tooth and nail to legislate public perception of morality. Where people get blown up, beat up, run over, run down and no one bats an eye. Where one boob flops out or someone says ‘cock’, half of America loses their shit and all the self-righteous, self-appointed saviors of America mobilize en masse.

  24. Re:It was a hard way to make a living as it was.. on Self-Driving Cars Could Cost America's Professional Drivers Up To 25,000 Jobs a Month (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Horse shit. The average cost of moving freight via truck averages between $1.60 - $2.10 per mile. An excellent driver with ten plus years experience will make maybe .45 per mile. The majority of drivers make less than 35.
      I work in a specialized part of this industry where an average move is $5K. Of that the driver makes around $1K.
      Do the math. ‘Trickle-Down-Economics’ has never worked in the real world. The consumer will never see that cost savings. Marketing bullshit from companies that pretend to care about you, notwithstanding.

  25. Narrow field of study... on All Fossil-Fuel Vehicles Will Vanish In 8 Years, Says Stanford Study (financialpost.com) · · Score: 1

    I’m the transportation coordinator for a bridge girder manufacturer. Girders 150’ long and 140k are routine. I am currently doing the two months ground work to move two girders at 225’ long overall and 325k gross. I am not aware of anything even remotely close to being able to deal with those numbers for even a half a mile let alone 500+. This might happen in 100 years, certainly not 8.
